Purification and N-Terminal Amino Acid Sequence of Dextranicin 24, a Bacteriocin of Leuconostoc sp.

Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. dextranicum strain J24 synthesized a bacteriocin named Dextranicin 24 (Dex-24), which inhibited only other Leuconostoc sp. strains. It was purified by a two-step procedure from the fraction of the bacteriocin bound to the producer cells at the end of the growth: desorption form the cells at acidic pH, followed by reserve phase HPLC. The N-terminal sequence of Dex-24 was the following: NH₂₋ K G V L G W L S M A S S A L T G P Q Q . . . Received: 26 January 1996 / Accepted: 28 March 1996
